Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat by Bee Wilson
2.0
2.5 stars
A quarter of this was fascinating, and the remaining three quarters painfully dull, even self-explanatory. At its very worst, its eurocentrism veered into cringeworthy territory. For example, this description of Japanese curry:
“...strange, all purpose sauce, gloppy and redolent of canteen food.”
Yikes.
